[Sordyxy]

Windows 10 wont boot it goes to preparing automatic repair then black screen cursor so i asked around and someone told me to download ubuntu and use that i did and it booted to it now i can use it and access my ssd and hdd so i know there not dead but how do i fix windows from ubuntu?

You need a Windows 10 DVD for reparing windows.

 

[captaincharisma]

it would depend on what kind of utilities it would have on it. ubuntu live cd's only have programs and utilities on it for linux only

Perhaps your friend meant to suggest booting up a live CD/USB w/ ubuntu so that you can retrieve files from your windows volume?

This will help you fix your problems. As was indicated, the only thing an Ubuntu stick will do is to help you to retrieve files and data. You need a Windows 10 installation USB/DVD.

1. What "someone" ?
2. What did they tell you to do?

Pretty much all you can do is what you already did...verify the hardware is not broken.
Fixing a Windows OS requires a Windows boot DVD.

OK...that's a whole different issue. Has nothing to do with Ubuntu, and nothing that it could fix.

How, exactly, did you create this Windows USB?

 

[Hountrezz]

try going into the bios and changing os-type from UEFI to LEGACY or something similar

A purple screen? That is a horse of a different color. You should start a new thread so that maybe we could help you fix this. Forget about that Ubuntu stick, it is useless in fixing Windows.

That statement makes no sense.

You can install from a USB.
You can't install the OS to a USB.

Now....what are you actually trying to do?

 

[Sordyxy]

For some reason the usb with the windows media on it wont work it just goes to a purple screen with a cursor i think this has to do with the problem with windows on the ssd so i was saying is maybe if i delete windows from my ssd it will no longer affect the usb

when your booting from a USB drive it is not trying to read from other drives

Why not just unplugging the ssd?

Then it says no operating system found reboot and select other drive something like that even if the usb is selected in bios

 

[captaincharisma]

Then it says no operating system found reboot and select other drive something like that even if the usb is selected in bios

then that means you were never booting off the USB drive to begin with. you will have to get into the boot menu when you startup your computer and if the drive is not listed then you will have to use the media creation tool to reload windows setup on the USB drive

The purple screen sounds like Ubuntu. I would download 10 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Follow the directions for a clean install. I'd also remove Ubuntu. This has gotten over-complicated and you know the drive works.

 

[Sordyxy]

It is selected in bios and it does that

 

[USAFRet]

Whoever suggested Ubuntu has made this WAY more complex than it needs to be.

1. Create a viable Windows USB installer, here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

2. (just for a test) Disconnect ALL drives.

3. Power up and attempt to boot from the USB thing you made in Step 1.

What happens?

Thanks for all the help i got it working
I went and bought another usb and tried to use that it failed and said some efi error so i changed the bios to boot on the new usb not disconnecting any drives and it worked!

Thank you for all your help!
